Right before that clearance, me and my mate were moaning about how he's meant to be up front, but was sitting so deep he was on the edge of the center circle and wasn't keeping up with play... Two cracking goals in a game which was by and large devoid of any decent chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Stubbs Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 The only reason I can think to return to the diamond in the league is to do a Chelsea 2014/15 post-Christmas shitfest to the title; couple of teams below taking points off each other and us usually taking four points a fortnight to keep it ticking along. We're in the second tier ffs, just go out and play. If Cummings wasn't bailing him out constantly, the shithouse style we're going with could have really backfired by now as well. How long is Lennon's contract? Hopefully no longer than two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kdawg Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 What's the story with McGinn? Any time I've seen him, he's been superb. No disrespect to Hibs, who are a big club, but how is he still playing in the Scottish Championship? Does he not do it consistently? Is he injury prone?

Think it was part of our game plan to have him drop deep be a nuisance and let Barr and Stewart use their pace beyond him. It worked very well although Barr didn't have a great game.

Great young player more than likely disillusioned with Lenny's tactics like the rest of the team. He has produced it in flashes this season but the team as a whole are not performing.

Dudu Dahan pal Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 McGinn was shite yesterday. Constantly losing the ball. I Expect a reaction from him on Wednesday. He's not the kind of player who lets one bad game affect him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grass Is Greener. Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 He's been good this season considering he was needing that Op on his ankle for most of the season. He's been good since coming back, never saw yesterday's game though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we're lacking a bit of creativity atm hopefully he can find an answer for that on Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They definitely lack creativity, I'm a big fan of having Holt, Cummings, Boyle and Humphreys to rotate about depending on how the game is going and think Boyle is a great impact sub when things need a shake up. Would start with Holt on Wednesday and put Boyle on at the hour mark if things aren't looking too good. Think Hibs will be more up for it and have less to lose and fancy them to shade it but I'm not expecting it to be pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grass Is Greener. Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I'd get Boyle on from the start, think he deserves a shot out wide. I'd line up similar to the United game at ER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Yeah maybe, would start Holt anyway as he it's going to be a right physical battle, Cummings would probably get muscled out but he will be more up for it than anyone so I'm not sure I would drop him.

Dudu Dahan pal Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 we need 3 in midfield. Can't allow ourselves to be dominated in there. But if we play 3 in there along with two wingers then we lack physicality up top. I'd like to see Holt and Cummings but I'd like to see Humphrey and Boyle play too.

This what I'd like to see every week, there's always the option of playing an extra midfielder instead of Holt. Wouldn't mind Cummings up front on his own if he's getting service from wingers or centre midfielders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 We stopped a run of consecutive defeats and by all accounts played better than we have in the league for weeks. Baby steps, but that'll do. Hopefully brings back some confidence for our upcoming games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
